Mailing that @#$%^ 25c Eagle
 

Obviously, the only way to handle strips of 21 on this horror is to go
to a photo store and obtain film canisters. I do not know where to buy
the sort of mailers used by the film companies for mailing in film for
processing, but one can mail them in 4 x 6 3/4 clasp envelopes.

The real problem comes with the strips of 11, which, according to Doug
Iams, measure 11.3 inches from the end of the stamps, which means a bit
more for the liner at the ends.

I propose placing the strips in salvaged priority mail envelopes and
then placing the protected stamps in a 9 1/2 x 12 1/2 catalog envelope
(which I still have left over from the days when I published the PNC
Catalog). They came 250 in a box, and I do not know whether smaller
quantities are available. The catalog envelope has to be folded and
sealed at all open edges with tape, a real pain in the neck. But my Size
12 envelopes are not long enough to accommodate the strips.

I have a simpler solution, Stephan. Give up the foolishness and collect
genuine postally used examples.
